3.3 Field Activity¶
2 week project - Electronics and Programming
Learning more about AI with 2 guest speakers
Speaker Donn Koh¶
Donn Koh *Singapore professor Microsoft - creating the mouse Studying the use of generational AI in educational settings
HELLO - Hypersketch and STUCK Design Microsoft touch mouse, resporators, coffee machines, water bottles that clean themselves. Early Childhood Spaces - outdoor space that changes how teachers and students behave.
Hypersketch - AI software AI has completely entered all the design work that they do - when it fits it really accelorates a lot o projects.
The value of using it with students: * AI helps to overcome the fear of the blank sheet of paper * You can draw or write * If you play with AI long enough your realize that AI does not give you what you want. You can learn other things for example, like working with another person who has a different ideas. * It’s like bouncing ideas off of a team - generating lots of ideas.
Down sides: * Gives SO many ideas
It’s a bit counterintuitive - AI is trained to give you the correct answers of yesterday. There is a problem of innovation - answers for tomorrow.
Bag example - designing a bag (with holes and broken). It can give you many different bags so she used the idea that were generated to design a new bag. VERSA
It allows us to work quickly - images that can be created to help people visualize ideas that are not drawn.
After designing videos using AI you can collaboarate with others.
Example - marble run where marble travels up. Creating a common cube - Cubic Rythms
Must use it appropriately 1. Use it the way it’s supposed to be used 2. Use it in unexpected ways 3. To know when not to use AI
When things are physically involved or mechanical, AI doesn’t work. Multiple cause and effect and comples performances - AI doesn’t work that well. Evaluative assessment - human feedback.
When it’s easier to simply make something vs. tell AI what to do, make it yourself.

Speaker Megumi Iwata¶
PHD Student - Doctor Researcher Generation AI - try to explain what are the implications for teachers and students when using AI.
Gereration AI - Targeting Finnish Basic Education Aim to develop age appropriate education for students Tools, methods and learning modules for K-12 students
Consortium - 3 universities
Tool 1 - Generation AI Teachable Machine Improved ability to use smart phones in the classroom safely.
Tool 2 - Social Media Emulator Like instagram - teaches how complanies are collecting your user data. Incredible tool!
